Exhibit mt st, Louis,

One OF the features of the National
encampment at st. Louis will be an
exhibition Of products from various
states. California Is making an effort
to present o fine exhibition and it be-
hooves the people OF Washington ter
ritory to take advantage of this rare
opportunity, and present an exhibit
both large and varied. Attention has
been called TO this feature OF the ap-
preaching encampment and no time
should be lost in gathering together
fruits, grains, vegetables, minerals,
ETC., for this purpose. Circular No. l
from headquarters department of Cali
fornia, Grand Army of the Republic,
dated at San Francisco, August LIST,
contains suggestions to members of
posts in that state that could be fol-
lowed profitably by comrades in this
territory. 1t may be added that Gen.
Curry is prepared to furnish transpor-
tation for exhibits, and will take pleas
ure in giving all the information desir-
ed on this subject. The eircular says
ANOW ~ WOulti Dc Wcll Viz
bers of the G. A. r.. in the central and
northern parts of the state, and for the
comrades of Nevada and Arizona, to
awake to the fact that If they do not
bestir themselves in the interest OF the
different counties where they are locat-
ed, that the immense number of people
who will visit st. Louis in September
will be led to think that the only part
of this great and wonderful state
worthy OF notice is that of the south.
There never has been better oppor.
tunity to advertise the great advantages
of California than that which is now
offered by the twenty-frst national
encampment.
The department commander there
fore hopes that every post commander
in the department will make it his
duty to call special meeting of his
post Immediately after the receipt of
this circular, appoint II strong and
efficient committee, have that COM
mittee to confer with public-spirited
citizens OF their respective towns, cities
or counties, and take such steps as are
deemed best, to have each and every
locality OF this state represented by n
number of Grand Army men, and by
all the specimens Of its products, such
as fruits, wines, minerals, cerals, etc.
Arrangements will be made by these
headquarters for the transportation Of
all such products to st. Louis.
Post commander will without delay
inform these headquarters of any ac-
ton taken upon the recommendations
contained in this circular, and also
forward the names and addresses OF
the comrades of their respective posts
who intend to join in the expedition
to st. Louis.

w. q. Il, u. scheme.

CHICAGO, August 0.--On the thr-
teenth of July the secretary of the
state of Illinois issued articles of incor-
poration to u company at Chicago
known as the Womans Tempera nee
Building association, with capital
stock OF 10000 shares, at $1,000 each.
The incorporators were Matilda B.
Carre, Francis b. Willard, Esther
Pugh, William Deering and James b.
Hobbs. The purpose is to erect
building in Chicago to be used as ma
tional quarters of the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union and temper
ance school and hall. 1t is also meant
that this enterprise shall become n
source of revenue to the national So
ciety. The plan is that while the
building is intended in the first place
to furnish headquarters for the ma
tional w. G.. r. u, it is also to be
great Office building, and will bring in
rental of ut least Sl35 900 year.
Ground has been secured for it in the
very center of the city. The structure
will cost about 100000 and to cover
this 100000 worth of bonds will bo
issued. The committee having tho
matter in charge to-day issued call
to all friends of temperance for con-
tributions to aid in carrying out this
work.

Croeler R.fu.e. TO An.wer.

SAN Francisco, August 9.--Col.
Charles +. Crocker, vice-president of
the Southern Pacific Co., was recall
cd before the Pacific railroad COM
mission to-day and agnin asked II
the Central Pacific had paid any
money for influencing legislation, and
what explanation he had to offer for
paying bills without vouchers. Mr.
Cohen, counsel for the company, said
that he felt compelled to instruct wit
ness not to answer.
"What is your answer?" demanded
Commissioner Pattison.
"On advice of the counsel ] decline
to answer" said Crocker.
The commission went into exeCu-
tive session to consider whether or not
proceedings shall be instituted in the
United States court to compel Crocker
to answer the question.
James o. Gum, formerly secretary
of several leased lines of the Central
Pacific, was examined as to the where
abouts of the lost books of the contract
and finance committee, which he stat
cd he had once examined but no facts
were elected.
II. CtIODIIu6cs ioiuiCiis ouPSt'H
tendent OF construction, testified that
in 1866 and '67 about eleven thousand
Chinese were employed, in 1868 and
$50 the average number employed was
about five thouaand, this he stated was
far in excess Of the white men employ.
ed. Cinnamon he said, were paid $50
and white men $35 per month.
Lloyd Tevis, president of Wells,
Fargo & Co.'s express stated, Stanford,
Charles Crocker and Chas. f. Crocker
were directors in the express company,
and had become such when the Pacific
express company which they had
helped organize in 1869, was consoli-
dated with Wells, Fargo. Witness
stated that by the terms OF consoli-
dation the Pacific express received
one-third of the capital stock or 3d.
1888 worth of Wells, Fargo Il Co.'s,
in consideration of which it went out
OF business,s its officers, however,
going into Wells, Fargo & Co., and

Agricultural Association.

New YORK, August 9-The Ameri-
can Agricultural Association held its
first session to-day in Columbia col
lege. Prof. Sturtevant, of the New
York State Experimental Institute,
Geneva, presided. The attendance
was numerous, composed of repre-
sentatives from nearly every state
A paper which commanded absorbing
interest was one by Prof. Wylie, on
sorghum as sugar producing plant.
Experience, he said, taught him,
that it was undesirable. DR.. G.
V. Reilly, United States entomologist,
of Washington, agreed with Prof.
Wylie. Mr.. II. Terrence, n Japanese
gentleman commissioned to study ag-
riculture in this country by his gov
ernment, said that the experiment of
sugar from sorghum was unsuccess-
fully tried in Japan.

The Greatest Pleasure Trip on Earth.

TACOMA, August S.-The steamer
Olympia last trip from this port to
Alaska was the most important and
successful ever made. This being the
largest load of passengers that has ever
travelled through the inland passage to
go degrees north latitude and 16 de-
grecs west longitude of Tacoma, in
cluded Senators Cameron, of Penn
sylvania, Vest, OF Missouri, Farwell OF
Illinois, Governor Swineford, of Alaska
and Governor Hauser, Of Montana,
Eliot F. Shepard, of the New York
bar, President Gilman, of the John
Hopkins University, Professor Dyer,
of Havard, President Abbott, of the
Wisconsin Central railway, Bliss, OF
Washington, Miss Edwards Of Mt.
Holyoke Seminary, President Butler
Of New York Training College and
many others of distinction from all parts
of the country and England. They
this unequalled passage, was delight
to all. The gold mountains OF Doug
lass Island, astonished every one. The
Alaska Indians were found far advanc-
ed in civilization and christianity, and
liberal contributions were made TO
their schools and the senators promised
cooperation in still further enlarging
them. The party witnessed the depar'
ture OF an Indian fleet of six sail boats
from Metlacttla, B. G. for Port Chester
Alaska, being the advance division OF
thousand Indians who seek new
homes in our country. During the
voyage politics were eschewed, but
enough leaked out to show that the
senators are of the opinion that il the
republicans want to carry the next
presidential election they must nomi-
nate some one who can certainly carry
New York. Beside the lofty noun
tains, endless forests, many mines,
placid and picturesque waters and the
anoint manufactures of Alaska, the
Muir glacier is pronounced an object
of the greatest admiration. From
the base sixty miles wide, the Muir
discharges into the sea through IL gorge
only two miles wide and advancing ut
the rate of 40 feet per day, avalanch-
ing icebergs in Glacier bay with q war
of thunder and earthquake, but owing
to the great depth of water the steam
er lies within quarter of II mile of the
glacier and the passengers in perfect
safety, see and hear these tremendous
transformations. All the passengers
commend this trip to their fellow
cOuntrymen.

Closing Out.

Mrs. Comerford desires to state to
the ladies Of Spokane Falls and vi
cinity that for the next few days
she proposes to close out her elegant
stock Of millinery goods at prices far
below cost. She is making this sac
rifice for two reasons. One Is, she
desires to enlarge her present store,
and the other is, that the stock must
be disposed of as she has ordered an
immense selection Of the very latest
and choicest line of millinery goods
directly from eastern markets. This
opportunity is one that the ladies of
the place cannot afford to let
pass without their taking advantage
OF 1t.

The particulars of sad case were
given reporter yesterday. A Mr..
10y, a prosperous, well-to-do farmer
living near Spangle, has been pecu-
liarly unfortunate for some years, in
asmuch as his wife has been afflicted
with insanity. Mrs. 10y is the
mother of three children, all grown.
The first violent symptoms OF insan-
ity developed four years ago. 1t is
of a homicidal character. Mr.. 10y
had a room fitted up in his house in
which to confine the unfortunate
woman. For the past four years the
sufferer has received every atte n.
tion from the family, and every
want has been supplied. However
this did not benefit her as far as hel
mental condition was concerned.
She grew no better. This watchful.
ness and care demanded almost all
of Mr.. Loy's time, as the girls could
not manage their mother. Only q
short time ago Mrs. 10y attacked
her eldest daughter with a
knife, inficting a number of wounds
on her person, and IL was only by the
exercise of great amount Of agility
that the girl managed to escape with
her life. Recently the husband has
found 1t necessary to be away from
home to look after his property,
and much against his feelings he at
last decided to send the wife TO the
asylum, where she would be safer
and at the same time receive treat
ment that she could not expect at
home. She was brought to this city
yesterday for the purpose Of under
going the medical examination nec-
essary, and receiving an order from
the court. At this place the family
met the venerable father of Mrs.
10y. After only few minutes ex-
animation the physicians were con-
WINGED of her insanity and the re-
quired papers made out. She was
very quiet while here, and did not
object to leave on the afternoon train
for Steilacoom, being informed that
she was going back to her old home
in Minnesota. The case is a very
sad and unfortunate one, especially
as there are no hopes of the recovery
OF the victim.

City OF MEXICO, (via Galveston),
August 9.-Senor Zuniga, who is en-
acting the role OF Mexican Virgins,
having predicted Al terrible earthquake
for this city tomorrow, considerable
alarm is felt among the lower classes,
who accept the prediction as being
founded on superior Knowledge. Ac-
cording to Huniga the city will be partly
destroyed tomorrow with enormous
loss of life. He has, or pretends to
have, instruments which by means of
II magnetized wire, enable him to pre-
dict earthquakes with accuracy before
their occurrence, and claims to have
predicted the earthquake early the
past summer.

Grand Army Encampment

The next Grand Army encampment
assemblies in st. Louis during the
month of September. The indications
are that there will be larger atten-
dance than at any previous national
encampment in the history OF the Or
der. Many old soldiers from the Paci-
fic coast have signified their intention
of being present, and no doubt Wash
ington territory will be largely repre-
sented. Gen. A. p. Curry, department
commander of this territory, is making
every effort to awake an interest not
only among old veterans, but also
among the people of the territory. He
has been very active ir his work and
deserves credit for what he has already
accomplished. In regard to transpor-
tation he has been in communication
with general passenger and ticket
agent Chas. +. Fee, and the following
letter from that gentleman gives the
rates decided upon and is self explana-
tory:
ST. PAUL, AUG, i, 1851.
Gen. A. p. Curry, Department Com
mander, g. A. II. Spokane Falls,
w. r..
DEAR SIR: / have your favor of the
9th. / hardly think it is worth either
your while or ours to attempt to ar
range for special excursion train
from the Pacific coast to st. Louis and
return. In the first place the expense
of running such train to the operat-
ing department would be something
between three and four thousand dol
lars, ard this amount merely for the
service and would not provide for per-
sonal transportation which would have
to be on the basis of whatever excur-
sion rate we might name. | have no
idea that people in the west, even
though large number might desire
to make this trip, would care to incur
any such extra expense. Further than
this we can hardly at present arrange
to furnish the necessary equipment
for such train, as the extension OF
our lines and the large demand upon
us for rolling stock in our regular
business at this season of the year,
makes it impossible for us to furnish
any great amount of stock for such a
train. We have, however, decided to
make an excursion rate to members of
Grand Army posts and their families,
which think ought to be entirely sat
isfactory. This rate from Spokane
Falls to st. Louis and return will be
$500. 1t is possible an arrangement
will be made whereby the tickets be-
tween st. Paul and st. Louis can be
used going via one route and return
ing via another for the sake of variety.
This arrangement is no quite complete
yet, but our agent at Spokane Falls
will be advised in due time.
The same excursion rate will apply
from Cheney, Sprague and large
number of other points in your vicin-
ity. From Portland the rate will be
$50. 80 from Wallulu Junction, $500;
from Tacoma, $3.50.
VIII endeavor to give you additional
information on this subject at an early
date. Yours very truly,
CHAs. s. FEE, q. p. & Il. A.

Obituary.


BROWN-lnt this city, Tuesday, August D.
1887, Ralph, infant son OF IL. Il. and Mary
Il. Brown, aged months.
Only those who have fingered
over the bedside Of lovely infant
and watched with tear bedewed eye
and aching heart the slowly ebbing
life can fully appreciate the keen
anguish that afflicts the parents
when one Of these cherished BIOS
SONS is cut down and removed from
the sight forever. There Is no re-
lief to the poignant grief to know
that the transformation from world
of sorrow, and care, and tribulation
at the best, to a life OF immortality
is a blessing to their idol. 1t is a
part of the very existence Of the
father and mother, and as its tiny
soul bursts its mortal bonds, 1t brings
that indescribable grief that cannot
be comforted. This tender bud
brief though were its days on earth,
held Il high place in the affections o,
the family, and the blotting out Of
its existence leaves a void that will
long be the source Of bitter sorrow
ing. Upon the plate above the cold
form were the simple words "Onr
Baby" words that appealed to every
mothers heart, significant words
that expressed the loss of that dearer
than life itself. sour Baby"---so
many of them--numbered among
the angelic hosts of heaven, and as
with tears we think of their brief
stay with us we can only hope, with
unwavering christian faith, that
when the summons comes we may
be once again united with them In
the great hereafter.

ENGLAND.
THE ENGLISH IDEA.

LONDON, August 9.-Sir j. Ferguson,
parliamentary secretary of the foreign
office, stated in commons this after
noon that England had never acqui-
esced to the presence of French troops
in the New Hebrides. He added that
the English government were unwill-
ing to believe that the French occu-
patton of the New Hebrides would long
continue and declared that the gov
ernment would in no wise consent that
the withdrawal of the French from the
New Hebrides should be postponed
until an agreement respecting the neu'
tralization of the Suez canal had been
reached.
IN COMMONS.
LONDON, August SIN commons
tonight, w. H. Smith announced that
the government declined to propose
that parliament guarantee any loan in
aid of colonization schemes. He did
not think any good would be obtained
by inviting colonial governments to CO.
operate in raising colonization fund.
The question was asked what was the
reason for the governments refusal to
submit returns showing the number OF
royal princes Or persons allied To
royalty by marriage who hold posts in
in public service and draw money from
public funds, and how many officers
have been passed over by such ap-
pointments. Smith replied that, in
judgment of the government, such re-
turns would be of an invidious charac-
ter and ought not to be granted. (Rad-
ical cries of "Oh, but it must be
granted.")
